Patiently waiting!

I am having my baby this week and I'm so anxious to see him and hold him in my arms!!

I wonder how big he's actually going to be...  And I hope I have enough newborn size clothes!

My bags are packed and I had my last NST today!  

Dinner in a pumpkin (step by step)

Every October, I make dinner in a pumpkin!  Yup the dinner is served IN the pumpkin!

I thought I would share the dish with you...

First you need to gut your pumpkins...

Next you brown the ground beef and drain the fat.  Add the onions and cook till almost translucent.  Add the seasonings and the cream soups.  Turn off the heat.

Then stuff your pumpkins!

Finally bake them for an hour at 400 degrees...

Serve in the pumpkin and scrape some of the cooked pumpkin to eat with the stew!

ENJOY!

Atreyu's first field trip!

Atreyu had his first field trip today!  We went to the pumpkin patch!  The whole class had a blast!

Trey got to pick out a pumpkin, and the farmers cut it off the vine for him.  Then while we were looking around the gardens, the farmer brought Atreyu a small squash for him.













Atreyu and I tried 3 different kinds of grapes that the family of farmers grow and wow were they so so sweet and good!!




















We also got to pick some chesnuts to bring home as well! 











































 
 After we left from the pumpkin patch, we went to a park to eat lunch and let all the kids run around and play!
